This is why people need to experience a little bit of infertility. They'll appreciate/antipate the little one's arrival rather than make negative comments.

Oh, and yippee for passing your glucose test! That must be a huge relief.

Sorry this is a bit cheeky to use your comment section as an ad space, but I wanted to ask Daisy for her password if she is still blogging, and I don't know how else to contact her! I miss you Daisy!

It's funny how people with children immediately launch into the difficult part of parenting. I have no idea why they don't bang on more about how rewarding it is to help another person grow to maturity, watch them develop, bring them love and joy, increase their own capacity for love and selflessness etc. That's why I want kids. Why would you do it if it was only endless drudgery

I used to just roll my eyes when people would complain endlessly to me about their kids... followed by the question, "So -- when are you having kids??" lol (You make it sound soooo appealing!) I used to think they just couldn't wait until I was as miserable as they were.

But I'm sorry too that you're getting that kind of talk from your mother. :(

First, K is so sweet I had to smile... and then I wanted to hug him. You have a great guy. I love that.

Second, I can totally relate to others looking at you in envy and not knowing you... I get it all the time when people comment on my clean house and nice furnishings. Yeah, infertility is great like that- it's easy to keep your things looking nice. I'm sorry that person is

I've had a similar experience. I have a friend who kept telling how life would be different when we got a placement, just wait, it's overwhelming, etc. And it has been overwhelming, but not in a bad way. I've been waiting for this for four years. I was kind of prepared for the change. I saw this friend yesterday and she commented on how I seem to have adjusted pretty well to

A shocking number of people are complete idiots, Alas.

It must be really stressful having your own mother be envious of you. I guess I can understand why, in some sense, but still, it's disappointing. I hope that you can manage not to let it get to you for the most part.

I can't tell you the number of WOMEN who have been absolutely befuddled by the task of caring for their newborn. My catch phrase is "WHAT DID THEY THINK IT WOULD BE?" My blood pressure is going up just thinking about it. Grrrr.

Great post!! I identify with a LOT of it about friends and the mother thing (though I have a good relationship with her, but we have similar circumstances and cackling. hehe).

We also had the same thing happen OVER AND OVER when we got married. So many people (men especially) saying, "Don't do it! It changes everything! It's horrible!" They just had their heads up
